Fernando Torrez Obituary

Fernando Torrez Jr., 29, lovingly known as "Junior" or "Jay" by his family, passed away Friday, Aug. 27, 2010. A beloved son, brother and friend - gone too soon. Funeral: 10 a.m. Monday at St. Andrew Catholic Church. Interment: Greenwood Memorial Park. Rosary: 6 p.m. Sunday at Greenwood Funeral Home. Fernando Torrez Jr. was born Dec. 9, 1980. He was a man of few words but many interests. When he wasn't at home with his dog and loyal companion, Duke, he was at Cabela's where he built friendships and loved working for the last five years. Fernando could always be found hunting or fishing. He loved music, especially strumming his guitar, and surrounded himself with others who shared his passion. As a son, brother and friend he was always there for someone who needed him. Our baby boy will surely be missed. Fernando was preceded in death by grandfathers, Barney Chazarreta and Paul Rodriguez Jr. Survivors: Parents, Fernando Sr. and Debra Torrez; sisters, Stephanie Reyes and Tiffanie Bittle and husband, Joshua; grandmothers, Minnie Chazarreta and Mary Rodriguez; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Fernando,
I was going through some boxes just now and I ran across some old pictures of us as kids. Amigo I had fun playing basketball in the backyard, riding our bikes around "the hood" and just being boys, those memories are burned into my mind. You were a good person and I am sure you are a great angel now. I just wanted to acknowledge you today. Thanks for being a friend.

I will never forget all the good times we had together working at Cabelas. I stopped in there yesterday, February 23, 2012... and I was informed of the news. It has been two years since he left us, I didn't even know about it! Fernie will be missed! I am a better person having known him. My sadness is beyond words.

i knew fernando from working at cabela's together. i quit working there in 2007 and we lost touch. today i heard of his passing for the first time. we had not kept in touch with each other but i could never forget him. he was the best co-worker and friend. we always had great conversations and many laughs. he loved his dog and family so much. when i heard this horribly sad news today i was in shock and my heart went out to his family. god bless you fernando and may all the memories bring comfort to your family! you are such a beautiful person inside and out and you are missed dearly. how fortunate i am to have known you. you touched my life as well as many others. thank you for all the fond memories!!!!

Missing someone isn't about how long its been since you've seen them last or the amount of time since you've talked. Its about that very moment when you're doing something and you wish that they were right there with you. Memories of Jr will be with us all forever. Cherish them.

My wife and I did not know Fernando all that well but our son and daughter who worked and shared outside activities with him did. They thought the world of him and considered him a good friend. He was always invited out for the lake parties and was always a very polite, well mannered gentleman. We always enjoyed he and Justin sitting out on the deck playing, singing and goofing around. He was such a nice young man to have as a guest and was always welcome in our home. We will sorely miss seeing Fernando out at the house, Cabelas and ball games. He was obviously a product of good raising. He and his family are in our prayers.

Tiffanie and Torrez Family,
As we walked out of St Andrews today, I felt it rain. I looked at my mom and we both felt it. That brought me tremendous comfort knowing Fernando was in the arms of God in Heaven. In your time of need God will not let you down. He is so powerful. Love you all.

Fernando,
I still cannot believe this is real!! When I heard the news, I just thought it was a horrible joke. I cannot believe you're gone. I know I haven't been up to see any of you in a while.. But, I will truly miss you and all those times you caused me to be late from my breaks or lunches because I would stop and talk to you about whatever!! I will miss you so much. You and your family will most definitely be in my prayers. And, hey.. I still owe you that chinese food. So, when I meet up with you later, I'll have it. Miss you buddy, and always will!! RIP
